Accommodation options include beachfront bungalows and oceanfront villas, designed in a traditional Indonesian style using sustainable materials. Each provides modern comforts such as air conditioning, private verandas and outdoor showers. The resort is home to one of the world’s largest
privately funded marine preserves. Through its Collaborative Reef Conservation Programme, Wakatobi protects 12 miles of coral reef while supporting local communities. A portion of guest revenue funds infrastructure projects and provides employment for more than 100 residents. Its house reef, which is situated just offshore, has
40 dive and snorkelling sites. Many of these are located just below the surface, allowing for long multi-level dives exceeding 70 minutes. Wakatobi’s dive centre offers instructional
programmes for all ages, making it a family- friendly destination, with easy snorkelling for children and beginner diving options from age eight upwards. There are also small taxi boats which transport guests to different parts of the reef, while custom-built boats offer stable, comfortable excursions. For an extended adventure, the 118ft luxury dive yacht Pelagian offers week-long explorations of the Wakatobi archipelago and Buton Island, which is renowned for its rare marine life. Beyond diving, guests can enjoy watersports,
spa treatments, cultural excursions and birdwatching. The resort also arranges bespoke experiences for special occasions such as honeymoons and anniversaries. Dining is a particular highlight, with a talented culinary team crafting international and regional dishes while catering to guests’ preferences. With its commitment to conservation,
